The rule of law is the supposed guide
Unless the baton carrier, is to be tried

Remember Bush remember Cheyney
Recordings of testimony, there aren’t any

Hate too say it, but Obama was guilty too
Against law to assassinate, regardless who

Likewise democrat Bill Clinton before him
Had people killed he decided on a whim

George Bush Sr. that impetuous imp
Had people killed to prove he wasn’t a wimp

Rant break

I get it I get it, I do I do. In the truck driving industry, they have what are called driver boards. Should one be involved in an accident or an incident.

Usually 3 drivers and a manager will review the situation and make a determination of the punishment.

(Actually at this point, good drivers are hard to find, so “punishment” becomes a “retraining opportunity”.)

So it kind of becomes a looking out for your own as if it were a peer review situation and you were in an accident.

Personalities, enemies and friends are taken out of the picture as it is usually a conference call with drivers from other service centers, deciding the outcome.

Giving a certain amount of leeway in accidents, non preventable or otherwise.

However, where death or theft occur, that driver is expelled from that position and company. No more questions to be asked. Regardless of who they know.

Shouldn’t those in government be held to similar standards as some dopey trucking company??

Meanwhile, those allegedly elected to positions of power can steal as much as they want and direct as many of their people to kill the sovereign citizens of other countries and their own country.

Depending on what uniform they are given, camouflaged or blue. What resource they need to steal or uprising they need to quell. Or kill because they don’t like the color brown.

They still get to keep their jobs and all they have to do is wash the blood off their hands with the constitution before wiping their ass with it and waving it at the people who pay their salary, while expecting them to do the same in the future.

Under an almighty steeple
The guise of * “We the people”

Not treating any humanity
Like it has any sanctity

Regardless the vileness of violence
The majority sits quietly in silence

Even Lincoln and Kennedy
Used violence as a remedy

School shootings unintended distraction
Keeping your eyes off the runner in action

The NRA has them in their deep pocket
Expecting things to change well forget it

The only thing I can suggest
Is not adding targets from the nest

“The Prosecution of an American President”

*The “we the people” perspective was inspired by Ta-Nehisi Coates book “Between the World and Me”.

“These new people are, like us, a modern invention. But unlike us, their new name has no real meaning divorced from the machinery of criminal power.”

“When you’re stepping over a homeless guy on the sidewalk…does it ever occur to you to think “Wow – maybe our system doesn’t work?!”

Recently visited a large and burgeoning city/cities, so combined “borders” were blurred. Saw lots of new construction on vacant land, being tied together with new intersections and overpasses. Buildings adorned with “names” and “Brands” never before heard of.

Wondering what they do or what they make.

“We’re Consolidated International and we might be looking for you.

Are you one of those people who show up, punch in, pitch in, put out, clean up, punch out, head home, throw up, turn in, sack out and shut up?

That’s what we need: people we can keep in line. We may have a place for you. Consolidated International.

People making things so people have things to do things to other people with.

And thinking up more things to do with the stuff we have.”

– George Carlin

This contemplation began as I’ve begun to see, what I would call urinal floor diapers.

Materialism Industrialized

Plastic V shaped mats that sit under urinals, apparently for those with poor aim. With what appears to be some kind of an absorbing pad inside.

This is awful on so many counts.

1. Somebody had to think of it.
2. Take it to an engineer to design it.
3. Decide if it is commercially viable.
4. Make machines to make it
5. Order raw plastic and fibres for it.
6. Take pictures of it to sell it.
7. Package it to distribute it.

The consumer end is worse.

1. Take the time to unpackage it
2. Put it in place.
3. Wait for it to get used.
4. Pick it up. (Ewwww)
5. Remove the pad
6. Wash (hopefully) the plastic pad holder.
7. Install a new pad.
8. Mop around the area, that would need to be mopped anyway.
9. Go to your boss and quit because you just wasted 10 minutes of your time dealing with a redundant consumable that was not necessary in the first place.

Other than making the immediate environment in the bathroom like a petri dish for bacteria and germs.

Maybe if people stopped making more people, there’d be less people to think of stuff to do, to to keep the people enslaved employed to waste the earth’s resources in an endless spiral of consumption.

As long as I’m ranting, the other contemplation is razor blades.

Products Supersized

Since when did one or two razor blades not do the trick in shaving? Hmmm?

Gosh, if two work good, three, four and five, will work even better. Get right on that. Charge more each time, with each “improvement”. Add a Teflon strip, give it an “ergonomic” handle (wouldn’t want to get carpal tunnel syndrome, from holding something for 3 minutes, every few days).
Add a battery, make it vibrate, for that “perfect” shave.

Add so much so, that the product is really expensive and it has to be locked up and a special clerk with a key has to get it for you.

Pushing the envelope with the consumer so far, as to how much they’ll pay. Up it so much, other companies can start “free” home shipping of razor blades “included” with razor blade of the month clubs.

Wasting even more of the earth’s resources, burning more petroleum products, keeping more people enslaved.

What is next, chocolate rationing about to begin? Coffee production up, but there is a distribution problem. Hang on to your razor blades, they are in short supply.

The next two minutes hate will be to vent frustration that the last two minutes hate, went two seconds too long.

How will you know if you become an unperson?

“We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing. It might be a thousand years.

At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively.

We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual, generation after generation.”

George Orwell, 1984

That was a good little ruse on Tillersons part, to “suggest” that, yes they are aware Russia meddles with the US elections and nothing can be done, so we are not going to bother.

Making the public aware that the only vote that counts is the corporations, deciding which henchperson to put in place to lower their taxes and buy the war wares for the never ending conflicts.
